"Bar size" Sets the default width sent back for VU/equaliser
bars etc.

Note 1In order to get any of the visual to work correctly you must install
and start the WINAMP 2 plugin (not just the LCDC WA2 plugin) :-
1) The "LCDC_WA2_Visuals.DLL" must be copied into the Winamp\plugins
folder (Currently not automated), you should find the winamp plugin in
the LCDC install folder under "Additional\Winamp Visualisation"

Make sure the "LCDC_WA2_Visuals" is copied into
the Winamp\Plugins folder

2) The plugin must be enabled within Winamp 2, simply select "LCDC->WA2"
from within the "Preferences, Plug-ins, Visualisation" and hit
Start.

Make sure you "Start" the LCDC->WA2 visualisation

Note 2
Due to the huge number of displays and setups LCDC is capable of supporting,
there are a lot of different options for showing a graphic equalizer of
the song being played, In fact there are 20basic options! Example if you
want to to a 2 line display you would select the L21 and L22 (or R21,R22
for the right channel) variables from the "Text
definition screen" and the L21 would go onto the first line and
L22 on the second line. As you can probably tell the first character tells
LCDC which channel to select L or R for left or right, then the next character
is the total number of lines you want to display for the equaliser, in
this case 2. Then the last character is which line to show 1 or 2! From
within the configuration for "WA2" you can also change the default
width (20) for the bars returned.

Example 2 line display, using a differnt custom character
set to the standard verticale bars

To create the above 2 line screen:-

1) Add a blank screen
2) Set the "FPS rate" to 25 (maxium update speed for nicest
display)
3) Set the "Custom chrs" to bars_vertical (or just vertical
bars for older installations)
4) On "Line 1" in the "Text" enter the variable "[#$WA2SpeL21]",
best option is to use the text defintion to select "WA2- Winamp 2
/ Spectrum analyser / L21 - left - Double line - First line"
5) On "Line 2" in the "Text" enter the variable "[#$WA2SpeL22]",
best option is to use the text defintion to select "WA2- Winamp 2
/ Spectrum analyser / L22 - left - Double line - Second line" (From
version 1.04.25 you can actually right click the "Text" area
and select "Duplicate", this will work out what the next logical
line should be and enter it for you)
6) Your done, if you have Winamp2 playing already and preview on then
you should see dancing bars.
7) Advanced... If you want to manually set the width of the returned data,
rather than the default sent by the WA2 plugin, simply enter in at the
end of the variable how wide to return. E.G "[#$WA2SpeL21]"
would return the plugins configured "Bar size" however "[#$WA2SpeL2110]"
would only return a bar 10 characters wide. This is useful as for example
you might want L and R shown on one screen like so "L[#$WA2SpeL119]R[#$WA2SpeR119]"
(single line graphics equaliser showing left and right channels)

Note 3As per note 2 there are many options for VU bars there are many different
setups you can have on this, and also the bars can be based at different
frequency levels (or an overall average). The setup again is similar to
the equaliser, however it is not multiline. There are two versions of
the VU bars though, normal (bars move left to right based on volume) and
Inverted (bars move right to left). It is important to use the Cusom chars
" Plugin_wax_vubars" (may be Vubars in older version of LCDC)
as these are needed to display correctly.

VU bars example

To create the above 2 line screen axample :-

1) Add a blank screen
2) Set the "FPS rate" to 2 (for maximum update speed)
3) Set the "Custom chrs" to Plugin_wax_vubars (may be vubars
in older version of lcdc)

4) For "Line 1" in the text select/enter the variable
"[#$WA2VUMLN1]" (text definition screen selection "WA2
- Winamp 2 / VUM - VU meter / LN1 - Left frequency 1"), and edit
it by adding 18 onto the end as we want it 18characters wide, also add
"L" in front and after as so "L[#$WA2VUMLN118]L"
5) For "Line 2" in the text select/enter the variable "[#$WA2VUMRN1]"
(text definition screen selection "WA2 - Winamp 2 / VUM - VU meter
/ RN1 - Right frequency 1") and edit it by adding 18 onto the end
as we want it 18characters wide, also add "R" in front and after
as so "R[#$WA2VUMRN118]R"
6) Your done, if you have Winamp2 playing already and preview on then
you should see dancing bars.
7) Fun stuff... if you want to see VU bars on one line in opposite directions,
you can use something like "L[#$WA2VUMLI18]LR[#$WA2VUMRN18]R"
or inverted as "L[#$WA2VUMLN18]LR[#$WA2VUMRI18]R"

Note 4As per note 2 there are many options for Solid VU bars there are many
different setups you can have on this, and also the bars can be based
at different frequency levels (or an overall average). The setup again
is similar to the equaliser, however it is not multiline. The bars however
can not go in both directions like the solid VU bars due to the limited
number of custom characters we have available. These screens can use the
default character set or a custom bar set.

Solid VU bars example

To create the above 2 line screen axample :-

1) Add a blank screen
2) Set the "FPS rate" to 2 (for maximum update speed)
3) Set the "Custom chrs" to Default (or your own custom character
selection for normal bars)
4) For "Line 1" select/enter the variable "[#$WA2SVULN1]"
(from the text defintion screen "WA2 - Winamp 2 / SVU - Solid VU
meter / LN1 - Left frequency 1". Once selected you need to edit the
selection to add another "[" in front and after and also add
"Left after as well" e.g. "[[#$WA2SVULN1]] Left "
5) For "Line 2" select/enter the variable "[#$WA2SVURN1]"
(from the text defintion screen "WA2 - Winamp 2 / SVU - Solid VU
meter / RN1 - Right frequency 1". Once selected you need to edit
the selection to add another "[" in front and after and also
add "Left after as well" e.g. "[[#$WA2SVURN1]] Right"
6) Your done, if you have Winamp2 playing already and preview on then
you should see dancing bars.

FAQHow do I get LCDC to only show the winamp screens while I'm playing
music? Simple, put all your Winamp screens into the same group (e.g. Winamp)
then create two events. Set the first one to "WA2->On winamp play"
and set the action to "DSP->Lock to groups" (selecting the
winamp group!), and use the second event as "WA2->On winamp stop"
setting the action to "DSP->Unlock from groups"
